The top Olympic basketball teams have combined the strategic approach with the individual star player model. This integration has been emerging in the NBA and Euroleague. The shift is due to the understanding that getting a win cannot solely rely on individual efforts, and star players desire more than just being a cog in a machine. Integrating strategy and individual creativity has created a different way to compete. Instead of trying to use marginal athletic dominance to impose a strategy - players compete by crafting those unforgettable wow moments.
A similar transformation is occurring in football, exemplified by Spain and Manchester City, who secure wins through wow moments. Contrasting approaches are evident when comparing England's strategic tactics with Spain's emphasis on creating memorable moments.
Rugby is following suit, with South Africa's World Cup victory being strategy-driven, future success is thought to hinge on creating wow moments, as demonstrated by Ireland and France.
"failing to plan is planning to fail". But, sometimes "no plan survives the first punch" - is the same
Beyond sports, a comparable shift is unfolding due to the transient nature of strategies in today's unpredictable world. Building teams that generate wow moments rather than striving for perfection through strategy is becoming more advantageous.
This transition from executing the strategic to crafting wow moments necessitates a shift in focus for strategy-oriented teams. Instead of fixating on errors, deficiencies, and strategy adjustments, teams emphasize recruiting and training individuals to collaboratively craft wow moments by adjusting the timing and spacing of micro routines. However, a challenge arises as most training pathways create graduates to execute on strategy. To help with this transition we have created SkillsofWow.org
